Funding for CCTV targets antisocial behaviour issue

EXTRA funding for a closed-circuit television (CCTV) system in Tralee should help tackle problems with vandalism and late night disorder on the streets of the town, it was claimed yesterday.

The Government is providing €200,000 to meet the cost of a new system or improve the current system, which has had operational problems in the past.

During the past year, there has been a series of assaults in Tralee, including a sexual attack by a number of young men on a woman who had left a pub.
